⭒Request a Buddy Read!⭒

[✨ tazannah - not accepting friend requests ✨, ⭒spiritual leader⭒]

Ooo can I join in on the secret garden? I wanna reread it!

[✧Bella✧]

I mean, I didn't organize it, but I'm sure you can. The more the merrier, right?

[✧Bella✧]

I think it would be great if you join, although this buddy read was Clare's idea, so maybe you guys should ask her.

[Clare]

Yeah, that is COMPLETELY fine.

[✨ tazannah - not accepting friend requests ✨, ⭒spiritual leader⭒]

Thanks!!

[✧Bella✧]

This is going to be fun. :)

[Elisabeth (Bets), ⭒assistant mod⭒]

So there’s 5 of us doing it? Sweet!

[Clare]

Well, is Angieleigh doing it?

[Elisabeth (Bets), ⭒assistant mod⭒]

I think so. I guess we need to wait for her to verify.

And like I said I don't want to start before the first of May but I won't feel bad at all if the rest of you go ahead and read it. So Clare I guess you can decide on the details and if it works for me when you do it, I'll hop on 😄

[✨ tazannah - not accepting friend requests ✨, ⭒spiritual leader⭒]

Just request it in the finalized buddy read and list all the names plz

[Clare]

Alright, I suppose we'll wait 'till April 30th, and if Angieliegh hasn't responded yet by then, we'll go on ahead.

[✧Bella✧]

I was wondering, since Dare was our BoTM in March, if anyone would like to join me in reading or re-reading (it'll be a re-read for me) the rest of the Blades of Acktar books. We don't have to do them all at once, and if you only want to do the second one, that's fine. I was just planning on re-reading the rest of the series and was wondering if anyone would like to join me.

[Elizabeth]

Would someone like to read Once I Knew by Victoria Lynn with me? She's a clean, fantasy, romance author. I was drawn to her originally for following her for some giveaway (probably because of Miss Sharon XD) and stayed for the lovely aesthetic she had about her books. She's also very passionately anti-spice and makes a lot of posts bringing awareness to that, which makes the author seem like a win.
ANYWHO, look how pretty the cover is. XD
Once I Knew

[✧Bella✧]

I actually want to read that book, but I don't think it's available to me unless I purchase it unfortunately.

[Elizabeth]

I'm probably not going to be able to read it for a while although I have it from the library, so I'm fine with whoever wants to read it taking forever to get it form the library or buying it.

[Sharon, ⭒botm leader⭒]

I will check to see if I have it on my kindle….

[Elizabeth]

If either of you need time to get it, like I said, I'm fine with waiting.

[Sharon, ⭒botm leader⭒]

I do have it on my kindle, but I can't read it right now--I have other book-commitments going right now. Maybe in a couple of weeks??

[✧Bella✧]

I just requested it from my library, but I'm not sure if they'll get it. I have had it saved for later on Amazon for over a year, but I don't know if I should be buying more books just now. Or if that would be the next one I want to buy. I'll see if I can join.

[Elizabeth]

We could do it in May or June, I don't mind.

[✧Bella✧]

Would anyone be interested in reading the rest of The Blades of Acktar or Out of Time series with me? The plan was to skip the first book in both, because I just re-read them for BoTM. :)

[✨ tazannah - not accepting friend requests ✨, ⭒spiritual leader⭒]

Maybe… I was planning on buying both of the second books in the series soon but I’m not sure yet

[✧Bella✧]

Just let me know if you want to. We don't have to do the whole series at once, either, if you'd rather not. We could just do the second for now. Maybe wait at least until we've finished The Secret Garden?

[✨ tazannah - not accepting friend requests ✨, ⭒spiritual leader⭒]

Yeah that’d be best

[Elizabeth]

@Sharon and @Bella do you want to read Once I Knew... let's say June 1st?

[Sharon, ⭒botm leader⭒]

That would probably be a great time for me!

[✧Bella✧]

I'll have to see.

[Cari]

Would anyone like to join me in reading Divine Rivals?

I’m not sure if I’ll be able to

[Bella off hiatus]

Cari wrote: "Would anyone like to join me in reading Divine Rivals?"

Sure. Maybe we could start in a week or two?

[Cari]

@Belle sure, just pm me when you're ready to start

[Bella off hiatus]

Let's just plan for a week (I need to write it down or else I'll forget

[Cari]

What about next week?

[Bella off hiatus]

Sure!

[Bella off hiatus]

How about on the 6th, since that's exactly a week?

That's fine. No problems.

[✨ tazannah - not accepting friend requests ✨, ⭒spiritual leader⭒]

kk

[✨ tazannah - not accepting friend requests ✨, ⭒spiritual leader⭒]

if anyone wants to buddy read The Blameless with me, plz say so!!

[Elizabeth]

Miss Sharon, are you ready to start Once I Knew tomorrow? I just remember that June 1st is tomorrow. XD

[Sharon, ⭒botm leader⭒]

Well, not tomorrow exactly, but close enough.🤭 I can start in a day or so—reading Winter’s Maiden that I got as an ARC, so I want to finish it and review it for the author before moving on.😊

[Elizabeth]

Do you know what day you can start on?

[Elizabeth]

Wait, yesterday's tomorrow is today and today is not June 1st. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 I'm out of it

[Cari]

@Bella sure, June 6th works!

[Sharon, ⭒botm leader⭒]

Helena wrote: "Do you know what day you can start on?"

Will Monday work?

[Elizabeth]

Sharon wrote: "Helena wrote: "Do you know what day you can start on?"

[Sharon, ⭒botm leader⭒]

Perfect! Looking forward to it, Helena!

[Elizabeth]

Same here! I think I'm really going to like the vibe of this.

Cari wrote: "@Bella sure, June 6th works!"

Are you still up for tomorrow?

[Jasmine (Jazzie)]

Does someone want to do a buddy read with me?
We could do any of my currently reading books (other than Frankenstein, A Little Princess, and The Fifth Avenue Story Society) because I'm only on the first few pages in them, one of the books on my "Books I Own" shelf (though I haven't added all my books yet, lol), or if you have another idea of a book, I can see if I own it or can borrow it off of Libby.

I do have a possible buddy read in another group with A Lady's Guide to Marvels and Misadventures, so that one isn't available.

Yes, it will!
